I started working out with an outrigger canoe club. We went to a race on Saturday. That's me in the middle with the yellow hat. It's pretty crazy. Every so many miles, we do a team change-out, where you swim out and float in the water until the boat comes. Then you climb in one side while the guys in the canoe jump out the other side. Oh yeah, the reason i'm doing this is because i found out i have a blood clot in my leg (deep vein thrombosis) and can't really run or ride for a few months.

Dude that is pretty scary, do you have to monitor that clot for a while ?
Yeah, it's going to take many months for the body to resorb the clot. I have to take blood thinners for 6 months. I beat the hell out of my leg all summer thinking it was just a strained muscle...kind of surprised i didn't knock a piece of the clot loose and develop a pulmonary embolis or something.
